Caption

Team members of the second Dome Fuji deep drilling in 2005/2006 Antarctic summer season. The sign board reads 'We penatrated to 3028.52 m / Jan. 23, 2006 / JARE46 and 47 / The Second Dome Fuji Deep Drilling'. The orange tent behind is the roof of the drill trench under snow. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the Feb. 8, 2017, issue of Science Advances, published by AAAS. The paper, by K. Kawamura at National Institute of Polar Research in Tokyo, Japan, and colleagues was titled, 'State dependence of climatic instability over the past 720,000 years from Antarctic ice cores and climate modeling.'
